[OPLINTECH] O365 for public

[Sam Lewis]

We are continuing to deploy the LTSC versions to avoid that mess as well.

We plan to keep using Office LTSC for as long as it's available for public computers. Version 2024 is still available through TechSoup.

Good morning,
I'm planning an upgrade to our public computers this year, so I'm evaluating the best avenue for offering O365 to patrons. We are currently using Office 2019 which is standalone so doesn't cause any issues. We do use O365 for Education for staff.
I'm not seeing a way to offer O365 without requiring a Microsoft account login. Am I missing something? What are other libraries doing that doesn't create a privacy nightmare or restricted use?
Thanks,
